I feel so blessed to have known Bill. He had such a kind, soft heart and infectious smile. There was a rainbow in each day spent with Bill & Carrie.....we had MANY great times, travels and experiences. For that I am thankful. May the fond, loving memories of Bill strengthen Carrie in her journey ahead. Love, Rita
